Abstract

A numerical investigation of the particle deposition characteristics inside film holes and on the blade was conducted using an improved particle deposition model and dynamic grid updating. The computation model was numerically simulated using Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations with second-order spatial accuracy and the SST k-ω turbulence model, combined User Defined Function (UDF) in FLUENT 2021R1. The influence of the deposition morphology on film effectiveness was analyzed. The results revealed that a conical deposition in the exit region inside the film holes enhanced the separation of the coolant ejected from the film holes at a low coolant mass flux ratio (MFR). Increasing the MFR inhibited deposition, and the enhanced particle detachment significantly reduced particle deposition inside the film holes. Deposition downstream of the film holes significantly affected the cooling performance. Strip deposition on both sides of the region covered by the coolant limited the spanwise diffusion of the coolant. Compared to the non-deposition case, The surface-averaged film effectiveness was lower after deposition at MFRs of 0.1%-0.5% and slightly higher at MFRs of 0.6%. The most significant reduction in the surface-averaged film effectiveness after deposition was 34.9% at an MFR of 0.3%.
